Service Announcements

Service Announcements shows the M365 Message Center announcements for your tenant directly inside IntuneAssistant — the same messages you'd see in the Microsoft 365 admin center, filterable by service, severity, category, and tag.

Browsing Service Announcements is free for any active IntuneAssistant subscription — no module purchase or installed Worker required. Getting a scheduled email digest of new or updated announcements requires the Reporting module and an installed Worker; see Getting notified by email below.

Viewing announcements

1. Sign in to the IntuneAssistant portal at portal.intuneassistant.cloud
2. In the left navigation, click Tenant Events
3. Select Service Announcements

You'll see a table of all current Message Center announcements for your tenant, including:

• Title — with a Major badge for changes Microsoft flags as significant
• Category — Prevent or fix issue, Plan for change, or Stay informed
• Severity — Normal, High, or Critical
• Services — which Microsoft 365 services the announcement affects
• Tags — e.g. Admin impact, User impact, Retirement
• Rollout — for messages tracking a staged feature rollout, where it currently stands for your tenant (see Tenant rollout status below)
• Last Updated — when Microsoft last modified the announcement

Click any row to open the full message, including the complete announcement text as published by Microsoft. Up to 1,000 matching messages are loaded at once; if your tenant has more than that, narrow your filters to see the rest.

Filtering

Use the Filters panel to narrow the list:

Filter	Description
Service	Show only announcements affecting a specific service (e.g. Microsoft Entra)
Severity	Normal, High, or Critical
Category	Prevent or fix issue, Plan for change, or Stay informed
Tag	Free-text tag match, e.g. Admin impact
Rollout status	Scheduled, In Rollout, or Launched (see below) — only matches messages that track a staged rollout
Only major changes	Show only announcements Microsoft has flagged as a major change

Filters apply immediately and can be combined. Use Clear filters to reset.

Tenant rollout status

Some announcements — typically ones tied to a Microsoft 365 Roadmap feature — track exactly where the rollout stands for your tenant specifically, not just when Microsoft announced it generally:

• Scheduled — the feature is planned but hasn't started rolling out to your tenant yet
• In Rollout — actively rolling out, often shown with a release ring (e.g. Standard Release)
• Launched — fully rolled out to your tenant

Open a message with a Rollout badge to see the breakdown per platform (e.g. iOS, Android, All) — a feature can be further along on one platform than another. Messages with no rollout badge don't track a staged rollout; the vast majority of Message Center posts fall into this category.

Getting notified by email

Browsing shows you what's happening right now, but you can also get proactively notified as new or updated announcements come in — configure a Service Announcement Digest job under Worker → Job Management. This requires the Reporting module. See Manage Jobs for setup instructions.
